Texture		but the taste, consistency and smell are horrid!
Muscle gain		I have been seeing great gains in muscle
Taste		but the taste, consistency and smell are horrid!
Taste		but it is hard to drink the french vanilla creme, you are supposed to add 6 - 8oz of water....I normally go on the low side so I used 6oz the first time, and it tasted and looked like watered down milk....yuck!
Taste		I love ON Gold Standard whey, just not this flavor!


Taste		ON's proteins all have a chemical like after taste and don't taste anything like the flavor advertised.


Fat loss		When combined it truly is a fat burning, muscle building combination.
Taste		BUT the French Vanilla Creme taste is absolutly horrid in my oppinion, smells amazing in the container;
Mixes well		but when mixed it smells like something died in my shaker bottle.


Taste		Can't beat the price, mixability, and flavor combo!
Mixes well		Can't beat the price, mixability, and flavor combo!
Value for money		Can't beat the price, mixability, and flavor combo!


Fat loss		I would like to lose the excess fat around my waist in the same time."


Taste		great overall product, great taste, you see results quick, and no bs.


Taste		Flavor is great without a funky aftertaste.
Mixes well		Mixes well with just water or (soy) milk.
Ingredient profile		I like the minimal ingredients and low fat, low calorie content.
Ingredient profile		Protein powders I have had in the past were harsh on my stomach, possibly due to all of the ingredients
